The Marda Permaculture Farm provides a two-week Permaculture Design course in the West Bank for interested agricultural professionals and producers, resulting in a PDC certification.

These courses will be taught by world-class Permaculture Instructors skilled in dryland permaculture design. Past instructors have included Geoff and Nadia Lawton of the Permaculture Design Institute in Australia, as well as Rhamis Kent and Klaudia Van Gool, and recently the renowned instructor Starhawk and Jillian Hovey.

The course, taught in both English and Arabic, provides participants with a broad range of knowledge around integrating sustainable, home scale or larger food production systems.

The course fee of $1,600 covers all accommodations and food.
For locals the course fee is $400
